This week at the
Paper Players we have a beautiful Colour Combo created by Nance!! She chose such pretty colours and I was swept away in the romance of the soft hues of
River Rock, Baja Breeze, Rose Red and Very Vanilla.
This is the card I created, complete with Butterflies and sponged edges. I sponged the edges with River Rock Ink and added some texture with my crimper on the front circle. I am in love with the sentiment from that Level One Hostess set called "Afterthoughts". My butterflies are all decked out with Pearls and the background of my card is stamped with the En Francais Background Stamp.
Some things that I do when tackling a colour challenge:
Playing with colour can be intimidating and overwhelming! I always take the Stampin' Write Markers in the colours from the challenge and lay them together on the table. I also pull out one sheet of each colour in cardstock and lay them on the table. This helps me to see how the colours look together and gives me the idea of what stamps to use!
Still not sure where to start? Try focusing on the colour that appeals to you the most! Then choose a stamp set that would work well with your favourite colour. In this card, I really played up the Vanilla and Rose Red on my card. The Rose Red is highlighted by the ribbon and the Butterflies from the Embosslit Butterflies Die for the Big Shot.
Create a focal point by choosing a simple and clean layout and then let the colours do all the hard work for you!!!
I hope you give this wonderful colour scheme a try this week at the
